Power Supply Modules

The power supply modules are hot pluggable. This means you can remove or install one of the two functioning power supply modules without disrupting service. The power supply modules are also interchangeable; that is, any power supply module will fit in slot #0 or slot #10.

6.5.1

Removing a Power Supply Module

To remove a power supply module, do the following:

WARNING!! The power supply module faceplate and internal surfaces can become very hot. Handle with care.

Voltage is present in an open slot when the switch is operating. To avoid personal injury or damage to surrounding components, do not place hands or objects into an open slot.

CAUTION! Always use an ESD wrist strap when removing and installing a power supply module. The power supply module contains sensitive electronic components. To avoid damage to the power supply module, do not touch the module components.

Keep the power supply module in an ESD protective container or anti-static bag when not in use.

1.Disconnect the power cord from the power supply module.

2.Connect an ESD wrist strap to the ground jack on the CPU module shown in Figure 6-7or some other ground point on the chassis.

3.Using a flat-blade screw driver, loosen the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module faceplate as shown in Figure 6-7. The bottom screw is under the latch.

CAUTION! To avoid damaging the latch mechanism, press the red release button all the way in before rotating the latch.

4.Grasp the latch and press the red release button, then rotate the latch downward to disengage the module from the backplane connector. Carefully slide the module out of the slot.

CAUTION! To prevent overheating and possible damage to the switch, do not operate the switch with an empty slot any longer than it takes to install a new power supply module.
